ASC22016 Supported Living DPS
The procurement contact named on the official notice.
Worcestershire County Council publishes Health & Social Care work continuously — 166 notices, roughly one every 12 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
31% of Worcestershire County Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
Worcestershire County Council is inviting suppliers to tender for a place on a revised replacement DPS.
The current DPS provides CQC registered supported living services to adults with a range of social care needs across the county.
This provision varies from support in people’s homes within the community, to semi-independent living flats, shared supported living houses and individual services with 24/7 support.
There are around 740 people receiving supported living support from the Council, the majority of this is through the current DPS (ref WCC00001786).
Current DPS suppliers will need to re-tender.
The DPS will create three Lots, and applicants can apply for any combination:• Lot 1 – Supported Living Tier 1 and 2, (LD, MH, PD and VA).• Lot 2 - Complex Mental Health (LD, MH, PD and VA).• Lot 3 - Only Mental Health support with no personal care.Please refer to the full tender documentation.
